Just got the email from BBTS (my Joe pusher) that said the second set of DVD Packs are "now available". They should be shipping in the next couple days.

And Wave 10 is still supposed to be arriving soon as well as Wave 3 of the vehicles... *sigh* I'm gonna be sooo broke.

That's good news that they are coming in stock, but why HTS.com doesn't even list them is beyond me, not even the Indiana Jones Temple of Doom figures are even listed and BBTS.com is just getting them in ????????????????????????

I know the feeling of going broke. I've got a bunch of stuff in my pile o' loot right now and I'll be holding off until next week to have them ship it all...just in case something else comes in.

WOW!

I just an email saying 25th Anniversary - Vehicles Series 02 - Case of 4 is shipping...
Now the DVDs are coming you say?
Wave 10 is coming I read?

I guess I am selling blood...cause man....it's broke time

I got a different problem. I'm going on vacation soon. I knew all this stuff would come out around now but I didn't preorder nothing on the chance it could arrive when I'm gone. Now I have to hunt them down in the stores.

Are people actually finding it difficult to find the vehicles and DVD sets in stores at this point? Because until recently this area was like a dead zone for 25A stuff, but that's seemed to have been corrected, and I've had several opportunities to get them all, pretty much. They may have taken a little while to trickle through the system, but they have all made it...

Just curious. I had sort of assumed that distribution was getting better as a whole, since I've started seeing a surplus of Joe product at both Target and Walmart in this area.

I haven't had a problem with the DVD sets, but I think the only vehicles I've seen are the set with the Air Chariot. my only local store has been finally getting single carded figures, but their comic packs consist mostly of Scarface Officer/Siegie and a few Ace/Wild Weasle packs. Whether they'll keep up to date on the DVD packs, remains to be seen. But, I genuinely suspect that I'll have to hunt down the Best of DVD pack, when it's released.

I think that for alot of us the stores were so bad in stocking new product that we just started going online and pre-ordering stuff. I know that I personally can't stand the going from store to store, only getting half of a wave or nothing at all, that is just isn't worth it for me to wait for a store to "possibly" get something in. I'd much rather pre-order it, take the slight hit on shipping but be sure I have it instead of having to go on a quest to find some of this plastic crack.

Yeah and that's still the issue. Plenty of old stock finally hits but nothing new. I finally seen a Snow Serpent and BAT just sitting on the pegs the other day. That was the first time since they came out. I had to order all the ones I got, and if I didn't I may not have ever got them. There was no way to know that I'd finally see them in stores. The DVD packs are now so overstocked that I'm wondering if they will get the new sets. I'd rather walk into the store and get what I want, but it's obvious that just will not happen.

Yeah i just found my first Major Bludd yesterday, along with my 3rd BAT. But the DVD sets and vehicles have been generally easier to get here. Maybe the higher price points cause them to move more slowly?

My local Wal-Mart and TRU are full of the DVD sets, so i don't expect to see the new ones for a while.

Hey fellas, don't forget i want that skeleton warrior from the DVD set, send them my way.

I'd love to be able to get stuff in stores but distribution is so spotty at best that I gave up months ago and have been preordering everything. I'd rather pay the extra cost plus shipping and actually get what I want than pay B&M costs and risk missing out. It sucks but its what I gotta do ya know?
